Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

HOSTING PROVDER A - Allows me 500gb of data transfer a month (which I can divvy up between all domains I own as I see fit) and the server has a 100gb uplink (this uplink is shared with however many people happen to be currently hosted on my same server at any given time and can vary - they do not specify a transfer speed outside of the uplink speed of the server - or the amount of people/sites I might be sharing my server with at any given time).

HOSTING PROVIDER B - Has no limit on data transfer a month but has a max transfer speed of 15mbps, which is automatically divvy'd across all of my hosted domains.. (I plan to host quite a few as I am designing websites and hosting them for people.)

QUESTIONS1. Can I run out of speed if 15mbps is divv'd up across all my sites and I end up having too many sites running at any given time, or no because they should all get 15mbps regardless of how many sites I am hosting because of the lack of a limit on data transfer a month...?2. How can I figure out which one will run faster? Or calculate the varying speed based on different scenarios (ie...hosting A with 100 hosted domains/sites vs. Hosting B with the same)

CONVERSIONS LISTED ON THIS SITE - convert-me.com/en/convert/data_transfer_rate/

CONVERSION 1If I divide 500gb of data transfer a month by 4 (for 4 weeks in a month - which is 125gb) and place that number into last box on the bottom table "Transfer Rate per Different Time Units" - "Gigabyte per week" - and click "convert", top 3 tables turn "megabits per second - mbps" to 7.101, Megabytes per second - MB/s" to 0.8466, and "second per megabyte" to 1.181.

CONVERSION 2If I clear the table and submit 15mbps into top left table for "megabits per second - mbps" and click "convert", I get 1.788 for "magabytes per second - MB/s", 0.5592 for "seconds per megabyte", and 1,056 for "gigabytes per week"

ANSWER/CONCLUSION *****Does that mean that this is a correct calculation, and that in essence I am getting more speed/data transfer from hosting provider B than A..., in that over the course of a months usage, 15mbps transfer speed is equivalent to about 4,224gb of transferred data a month? And that it would take approximately that many gb (1056gb/4,224gb) of data xfer a week/month to go over my allotted speed???? (Obviously 1056gb a week/4,224gb a month is way more than 125gb a week ((or 500gb/mo)) Hosting provider A allows...) Or am I misunderstanding something here?******

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! I HOPE THERE ARE A LOT OF SMART PEOPLE OUT THERE, CAUSE I AM DYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT, LOL...THANKS TO THE SMART PEOPLE OUT THERE IN ADVANCE FOR HELPING ME WITH THIS!!!!
